Ramdin made the call on the BBC Caribbean report.
He said it would be critically important for regional leaders to meet and talk collectively about the problems of their countries.
Energy, food, the environment and the financial crisis are among the matters on the Summit's agenda.
All the Caribbean leaders are scheduled to attend the April 17-19 Summit and the White House has already announced that US President Barack Obama will meet with the CARICOM leaders at a separate session.
Obama, during his two day stay in Port of Spain, also plans to meet Latin American leaders at another forum. | | | | Reads : 1046 | | | |
